So I can see the transaction has been successful and is confirmed, why can’t I see it in my MEW Account Balance just yet?

Purchasers will need to withdraw their tokens on the contract to make their tokens available for ERC20 trading (we will step through this in a separate FAQ). This function can only be performed 14 days after the sale is complete (9pm December 4th (UTC), once the SKR Tokens are transferrable. Before the withdraw is performed the users balance will appear as 0.

But why?

The reason we have structured the contract this way, based on the advice of our auditors, is that the contract will continue to be used on the Skrilla platform long after the sale has finished. So we want to ensure that any token sale specific functionality is not executed when ERC20 functions are performed. Any unnecessary code execution will cost our users extra gas.
